Been playing this last few days and it's a great game! A light RPG adventure game set in Norway with all the busywork cut out. It's basically a watered down Skyrim with hints of Hertic and made by just one person. Combat is a bit janky but great fun and there are some really good enemies done well like spiders. Kinda feels like an linear open world game with a classic 90's feel. Great soundtrack and only a tenner too!

wow it looks beautiful too with nice atmosphere, how's the story, is it good or at least average?

I'm really hoping this one is good. The fact they have Peter Weller reprising his role is a good sign. Let's hope the game lives up to the hype. Fingers crossed.

Thanks, man. Thanks, man and yeah, I understand. It’s good to know what others are into. The last single player game I completed was The 3D All Stars version of Mario 64 for Switch, I beat the game and also obtained 100% completion in that game last month

It does look really nice, excellent screenies as always James.

At E3, being given unrestricted access to this game it was probably one of my most looking forward to games ever. But that was in 2018, who knows if it's even the same game as before. I don't care personally about fighting on deck, as I was looking to this like a world of warships/ black flag.

No I haven't tbh! I'm looking to get some of the Mickey Mouse games in chronological order at some point. I really need to get back into Kingdom Hearts too.

i saw a video which showed some fan making the witcher 1 intro in vr and it had this song, so of course i had to listen to it again being a blind guardian fan

I really liked Mickey Mania, did you ever play that one Lee? The first level was Steamboat Willie

Gameplay trailer revealed yesterday Looking at it, I couldn't get a huge feel for how it will look and play. We don't know how the gunplay will 100% feel until we see a more detailed gameplay and UI/HUD. The story parts is looking good so far, and the voiceover for Robocop is quality. Still probably a bit to go until we can see if we're looking forward to a must-buy me thinks.

I was supposed to post this a while back as it got me giddy excited as Robocop was one of kind of fictional heroes (because of the original film and the Amstrad CPC 464 game). If they get his HUD working in the way like the movies, I'd like to think its a must buy for me. Its also based on the original movies 35 years ago which definitely helps as the newer version just didn't hit me the way the old one does. Anyway, trailer for starters with some concept art. Still a way to go to wait for this one as it states 2023.

Seem's there are a few of us with a fondness for the megadrive in here so thought I would get some chat going (I'm hopefully going to pick one up later, I think the retro chats with you guy's has given me a kick up the arse to finally replace my broken one 😄 ) I'm sat watching some gameplay of Mickey Mouse's castle of illusion, this was the only game I owned in another language (Japanese for some reason) so for the most part I didn't have an idea what was going on but it was a platformer so easy enough to play ^_^ On the video I'm watching currently it looks like it holds up fairly well as far as visuals and the such goes. So any other fond megadrive memories?

Hi, A few people have suggested I make an introduction thread so here goes. I’m 29 year old dude from UK who is into video games, getting drunk, watching movies, watching TV shows, smoking, vaping and using the internet. Since this is a video game forum, I will name a few genres I like. I like shooter, arcade, beat em up, fighting and platformer games. I’m into all consoles but mainly play PlayStation consoles. You can call me Brett, BrettyBoy or Bretty, whichever works for you. ✅

It’s pretty minimalistic but quite intriguing. You always have a handful of quests to work through and everything seems to flow nicely. You arrive at a mysterious island so you’re as much in the dark as your character but it’s great to see things unfold without it being too plot or quest heavy. I’m 12 hours in and it’s about a 13-15 hour experience which is just about right especially if people are burnt out with open world games of late.

Didn't know that, that is interesting! Tbh, its probably time past that allows us to be so nice and forthcoming of both consoles but I do really think they both complimented each other. Whilst at the time they hated each other in the market and were allowed to make jibes at each other (looking at the initial Sega's adverts 😅), now I just look back and would advise anyone to get both because switching between the two at times is such a joy to have the option. Unique games developed either side, alongside the game controllers, makes it worthwhile.

Welcome to FG Brett! Nice to see a little intro there, we really do try and get to know each other where possible because as you've probably seen, its an awesome place for all of us to share info and opinions and then get our asses online and have some lolz together. Playstation is in our sweet spot too so thats great news. Hopefully when you can get your PS Plus again, you could look at our FG Fridays, usually playing an accessible game you will own....even Fall Guys is free these days so always a top laugh when we get the numbers online for a large private party. What was the last single player game you completed? I struggle like hell playing single player, but thats only cos i love this annoying bunch of twonks online 😅 Looking forward to seeing you around FG more! Enjoy your stay!! 😎❤️

welcome aboard brett, hope you have a nice stay with all of us!!!

from what i saw it is pretty much the same game with the one they showed all those years ago, so why is it still not out yet all these years later? also it looks very uninspired, boring, bland and monetized to hell and back and the cluttered ui, my god... it seems that anyone who wants to get their pirate fix will either have to play sea of thieves or ac4/rogue

Ubisoft released some updates and footage on this game. Not impressed. I can't even be bothered to share a video 😁

Love that SRV video but seriously, chum-fm? 😂😂😂😂

I finally started reading Dune. Just finished the first book and started reading Dune Messiah.

Love this song

Oh damn I forgot about Desert and Jungle Strike, even the 3rd one Urban Strike. I think because I never owned them, but I played and swapped them with a mate and they were sooooo good! Aladdin was superb as well. Back to the future was impossible, could barely get past the 2nd level. Remember staying at a friends and we struggled with it for the best part of a night.

Desert Strike and Jungle Strike NBA Jam Aladdin Ghouls n ghosts Interesting factoid about megadrive games by EA (with the yellow tab). EA originally reverse engineered the genesis because SEGA wanted much stricter controls on who they would allow to make games. Seeing they had a work around made SEGA buckle and grant them permission.

There were lot's of fantastic games, some iconic ones I remember owning and playing were: Sonic Streets Of Rage (2 in particular) Tazmania Toe Jam & Earl Dick Tracy Michael Jacksons Moonwalker Home Alone Shinobi Micro Machines Altered Beast Golden Axe Fifas Splatterhouse There were loads more I played and some more that I owned, but these ones just stick out for being legendary or just totally fun.

World of Illusion > Castle of Illusion. The story that could be played co-op was literally one of my all time top games of the Mega Drive. How they made Mickey and Donald work together in certain parts was really ahead of the times. Each level is incredibly made too. Never gets old completing this game. Premier Manager (the original one) was super. I used to play as Cambridge United iirc. So hard to get up the leagues, especially with such pants budgets! The other one that got me into racing games early doors was Virtua Racing. The cartridge is unusually large compared to the others due to 'brand new 3d graphic models' it brought from the arcade machines to home consoles. Grabbed this from Wiki: "Due to the complexity of the Model 1 board, a home console version seemed unlikely, until 1994 when a cartridge design incorporating the Sega Virtua Processor (SVP) on an extra chip was created to enable a version on the Genesis/Mega Drive. This chip was extremely expensive to manufacture, leading Sega to price the Genesis version of Virtua Racing unusually high: US$100 in the United States[13] and £70 in the United Kingdom."

Will have to give that a watch Phil, sounds good. 🙂

Yeah, living in London has the benefit of access to all sorts of music 🙂 You know what, I saw this and thought, "nah that will be shite" but I take it back. It helps he's using a classic rhythm but yeah I like that a lot 🙂

@phil bottle This is good as well, sounds like "old dub" are most dubs primarily instrumentals?

Yeah man, some ska punk is poorly done but this record is a classic

Always loved this tune, it's definitely from the 70's and would be roots? Absolute banger tho.

Yeah man, I like to switch between ska, 70s roots and dub and 90s UK roots and dub

Sounds sweet man, definitely more Ska/reggae? It's a bit more lively than just reggae. And yes I can hear all those upstrokes on the rhythm of the guitar. 🙂

That's great to hear Dave, love that! They have such an awesome chilled sound, from New Zealand I do believe. Been enjoying them for quite a few years Thanks for sharing. 🙂

13 years later and it's still the best dubstep remix I ever heard. 💣💥 Stephen Marleys original reggae tune mixed. "Raggastep" is the term.

I love how his guitar looks like an AK-47 😂

As Peter Tosh said "do not criticise it" 😁

Fuck it, have another one. Gets better every minute that goes by in the 7 minute song.
